Naples (Italian: Napoli, Neapolitan: Nàpule) is a historic city in southern Italy, it is the capital of the Campania region and the province of Naples. The city is noted for its rich history, art, culture and gastronomy, playing an important role throughout much of its existence; it is over 1,500 years old. Naples is located halfway between two volcanic areas, the volcano Mount Vesuvius and the Phlegraean Fields, sitting on the coast by the Gulf of Naples.
Its ancient name was Neapolis, i.e. "new city". Its metropolitan area is the second most populated in Italy and one of the largest in Europe. The city itself in the central area has a population of around 1 million, the inhabitants are known as Neapolitans, (Italian: napoletani) or poetically partenopei. The Historic Centre of Naples is listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. The Neapolitan language is the geographically most diffuse Italian language, similar variations of the Neapolitan dialect ('o napulitano) are spoken throughout most of southern Italy.
Between 1266 and 1861, Naples was the capital of the Kingdom of Naples (later of the Two Sicilies), usually simply indicated as "the Kingdom", other Italian states having different denominations. This history, coupled with its size, has given Naples the unofficial status of being the capital of the Italian south (Il Mezzogiorno).
In the modern day, the city is served by Naples International Airport at Capodichino, a civil airport hosted by a military one, once outside the city, now surrounded by built up area.

Das Reichstagsgebäude am Platz der Republik in Berlin ist seit 1999 Sitz des Deutschen Bundestages. Die Bundesversammlung tritt hier seit 1994 zur Wahl des deutschen Bundespräsidenten zusammen.
Der Bau wurde von dem Architekten Paul Wallot 1884 bis 1894 im Stil der Neorenaissance im Ortsteil Tiergarten (heute zum Bezirk Mitte gehörend) errichtet. Er beherbergte sowohl den Reichstag des Deutsches Kaiserreiches als auch den Reichstag der Weimarer Republik. Durch den Reichstagsbrand von 1933 und durch Auswirkungen des Zweiten Weltkriegs schwer beschädigt, wurde das Gebäude in den 1960er Jahren in modernisierter Form wiederhergestellt und von 1991 bis 1999 noch einmal grundlegend umgestaltet.

The Atrium of the Fishing Cupids is semicircular, with a four column portico.
In the centre of the atrium is a small, shallow pool. There are remains of a fountain in the middle of the pool.
Cupids aboard six boats are fishing in the abundant sea, teeming with life, employing a number of different fishing techniques. In the centre of the composition a pair of cupids are swimming in the sea. In the background, along the outer perimeter of the semicircle, the shore is lined with a number of porticoes with pavilions.

Villa Romana del Casale is one of the richest, largest, and varied collections of Roman mosaics in the world.
The visible remains of the villa were constructed in the first quarter of the 4th century AD.
The villa was damaged and perhaps destroyed during the domination of the Vandals between 469-478. The outbuildings remained in use, at least in part, during the Byzantine and Arab periods. The settlement was destroyed in 1160-1 during the reign of William I. The site was abandoned in the 12th century AD after a landslide covered the villa.
The mosaics are probably made by African artists; very similar ones were found in Cartage and other places in North Africa.
